Ben
Before arriving at the Rafiki village, Ben and his five siblings lived with their grandmother, along with her six children, in a one-room house. Ben eventually ran away and was found by the police. After the Children’s Court determined that his home environment was not desirable, he was placed at Nairobi Children’s home. Ben arrived at his new home at the Rafiki Village Kenya in February 2014. On his first night at the Village, his new brothers made his bed and left a stuffed animal on his pillow to welcome him. Ben shows interest and improvement in every subject, but he especially enjoys learning about the human body in Science. He does well in music, spelling, and sports. though he can struggle to catch up with the rest of the class academically, he is an active student and shows love to his friends always.
